Joining Objects

[edraynham]

Hi Folks,

For example...

class MyClass
{
function MyClass()
{
$this = mysql_fetch_object($q);
}

function another()
{
return;
}
}

$blah = new MyClass();

I want to be able to use $blah->db_field; and also keep any other functions in the class

Any ideas?

class myclass
{
	var $row;

function myclass($q)
{
	$this->row = mysql_fetch_object($q);
}

function something()
{
	return;
}
}

$obj_test = new myclass($q);

$obj_test->row->db_field;

Something like that would work I think...

Yeah, that's what i'm using thanks... just wondering if there was a better way.

Thanks

You could use get_object_vars (or just fetch the row as an array), then loop through setting your local properties to mirror the object's.

I'm not sure if this'd work but it's an idea maybe?

class myrow
{

function myrow($q)
{
	$this = mysql_fetch_object($q);
}
}

class myclass extends myrow
{
	var $row;

function myclass($q)
{
	$this->myrow($q);
}

function something()
{
	return;
}
}

$obj_test = new myclass($q);

$obj_test->db_field;

Ah, cheers Mike... i didn't think of that!🙂

Doesn't work here in 4.3.10. Changing $this actually changes the class entirely, so you still lose your functions. Also redefining $this is no longer valid in php5.
